BCCI to decide on selection committee chairman after October 4

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the board has sufficient time until October 4 to decide on the next chairman of the men's selection committee. Ajit Agarkar's three-year contract ends on that date.

Agarkar informed the board on September 18 that he would not seek an extension. Saikia said a decision on the vacant position would be announced publicly once finalised.

The BCCI secretary also praised India's women's team for winning gold at the Asian Games and expressed hope the men's team could repeat the feat when their campaign begins on September 28.
